Let me ramble about characters

Most recently from

jennaria. This is about the speed my brain feels today.

Leave the name of a character/person from a fandom you know I'm in, and I will tell you--

* How I FEEEEEL about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character -
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Good fandoms for drawing characters from: KHR, Bleach, PoT, FMA, Getbackers, most of CLAMP's work, Utena, Kuroshitsuji, Meine Liebe, Sailor Moon, Trinity Blood, Trigun, Petshop of Horrors, ES21, Digimon (all seasons), HnG, Naruto, HxH, YYH, Angel Sanctuary, Monochrome Factor, YnM, Gundam Wing, Saiyuki, YGO, DN Angel, FF VII

Multiple prompts perfectly welcome.

Now here's an interesting one.

How I feel: I really like Takato; I actually like him better than most of the goggle-boys, exactly because he's a bit different. Softer, and that makes his flares of temper or determination all the sharper.

Ship with: Lee. All the way, oh yeah. He gets Lee to be less serious, and Lee can maybe calm him down when he's on the edge.

Non-romantic: OT3, him and Lee and Ruki. Because they really do fit together, they /work/ together, in a much tighter way than most of the Digi-ensembles. Takato and Lee need Ruki's edge to see that it's all right to have one, and Ruki needs Takato's silliness to see the same thing, and they both need Lee to ground them.

Unpopular opinion: That this was my favorite season? That I really, really liked it when Takato totally lost control of his temper? That worked out in much higher relief than it usually does.

What I'd like to see: I'd love to see the three of them still together ten years on. See where they wound up. Whether they've become a famous programming team.

I like him the most as well! But I haven't ever read fic in that fandom because digimon fic seems to me such a big black hole of really badly written stuff (so any recs you can think of would, of course, be really appreciated XD)

I think the dynamic between the trio is really interesting, which is why even though the secondary characters were actually nicely developed for this franchise, I liked the stuff that centered around the three of them the most. It just seemed very self contained, because lots of the other teams you had a few characters that at one time or the other seemed to just ...be there without a real purpose.

With those three it just always seemed to come together and they never was a moment one of them was an outsider (also we get one of the only really kick-ass females in the franchise!)

Is that an unpopular opinion? I thought the fans were kind of evenly split in the middle of the love it- hate it divide?

I think him actually being hot-headed always intrigued me about him, cause he is presented as such a gentle person, so my pet-theory has always been that he is just more...sensitive to others than the other leaders so he normally keeps that energy contained, but the intensity is always underlying everything he does

I think you have something, there, about Takato being more sensitive. goodness knows, most of the other leaders tend to the bull-headed. I almost have to wonder whether Takato freaked people out, when he was tiny, and learned to hide that so well that he kind of forgot it himself. Until the Digital World.

Also. *hearts all over Ruki and her total kicking of ass*

I think that is exactly it, he learned that intensity is not the way to go in japan and kind of buried it till he needed to access that part of himself to get through the digital world

would be interesting to see an exploration of him suddenly not fitting anymore in that person he molded himself into and not really understanding why that feels so familiar

Jumping in to say that you and I pretty much have the same thoughts on Takato! I really loved Tamers as a kid, despite it being less popular, for the reasons you've mentioned. It's really nice to find someone else who appreciated this season.

*hearts* Yes! Tamers is /definitely/ my favorite of them all.
